Pay Congress by approval rating

In the real world, we perform our work-related tasks and are evaluated by our "boss" to determine if we receive any merit pay increases or if we just keep our job.

With Congress having an approval rating of 12 percent, I would suggest another pay proposal. It's called pay for performance. Since the poll data is ultimately drawn from the people - remember we are supposed to be their boss - I recommend in 2014 Congress receive 12 percent of their 2013 pay.

The message is simply: "You have a job to do, so do it!" Being a member of Congress should not be an entitlement; it should be a privilege.
